At 18 my granddad (now 95 year old and well) volunteered to defend the Empire. He was stationed in Haiphong, North Vietnam. He said these years were the best of his life, that he liked the "yellows" and that he never went back to Vietnam only because he knew that if he had gone back, he’d have stayed there till the end.Does it happen iyc?
please come back and recolonized this shithole
My grandpa did his military service in Western Sahara. He said it was boring and nothing happened. I have no respect for him because he didn't kill and rape people, also he's dead.
>>219300130What does he think of the state of France today?
>>219300130colleague at work is like this with Thailand except his dream is to get a remote job and go back thereI'm polite enough to act that it has nothing to do with ladyboys and the like
>>219300130based grandpa
>>219300642Will you grant me a viet gf?
>>219300898t'as été sage ?
European grandpas really have like a 50% chance of having committed a warcrime
>>219300130My grandfather killed ustase and chetnik niggers and thought that americans (as he saw in the movies) got ptsd because they are pussies and weren't fighting just wars
People say that thinking Germany wanted to “conquer the world” is absurd, but they forget that Britain and France DID conquer the world
>>219301228>your brain on epstein media
>>219300941non :(
>>219301228>should have went
>>219301398It's true doe, they welcome immigrants by the half million a year
Lots of Petainist traitors and large parts of the German Wehrmacht/SS ended up in Indochina to run away from their sins and war crimes in Europe. They would still sing the German marching songs while stationed in Vietnam.Your grandpa was likely one of them.
>>219301540wholesome !
>>219300695Uncool grandpa.Mine told me he took Viet Minh prisoners and made them clear mines by hand. This would be considered a crime today but at that time it was common practice apparently, including in Europe.He told me the Viet Minh threw grenades into French military hospitals so it was sort of 1-1 thing.
being a stationed soldier in a colony of your country is peak comfy life, safe to assume he was just drinking beer and shagging localsAmericans are still allowed to do that to this day, countries like Korea and Japan are full of these retards doing nothing and getting free housing and partying every weekend
>>219302059NATO destinations are just muslim shitholes and the baltics pretty much, not kino at all
>>219300754He was Gaullist since as a child he listened to De Gaulle at the radio during WW2. Always voted right-wing, but never Le Pen, although he has basically the same opinions. That’s a weird French boomer-silent gen thing. Macron was elected by the 70+. Ghost of WW2.
>>219300695same for my grandpa, it's a fkin desert muslim shithole obviously there was nothing to do there aside from going to the beach my dad thoughever was in the French Foreign Legion doing missions in Africa and later he moved to Hong Kong which was the weapon smuggling capital back then and he smuggled weapons to the Laotians and Khmers during the Vietnam war through Thailand
>>219300130at 18 my grandpa was a communist activist during WW2. He was born in 1925 and has been dead for 23 years. I don't think he was a partisan I think he was just a part of the worker's youth league. While digging through his old stuff I found a letter to the party committee asking that his friend be admitted into the party because he was also an activist during their student's days.
mine did nothing but being poor northern portuguese farmers
My grandpa was sent to Germany as labor force during WWIIHe met a Polish cutie but had to leave her as soon as war ended
>>219302404>some smelly cunt insisted Italians never went to Mogadishu because his map panting game didn’t have itkek
>>219302372Man, there is only one European country who fought more (proportionally) decolonization wars than France (including many of them super long and super pointless), and it’s Portugal under based Salazar.
>>219300898I will whore my daughter to you like a jew if you guy do that.
>>219302216How come your maternal side fought on 18th and 19th century wars but not 20th century wars?
>>219302293If you join the US Army or Navy or Air Force, do you get to pick where will you be sent or it's based on something?
>>219303113Is this some alternate history map?
>>219302312>That’s a weird French boomer-silent gen thing.It's not weird or unique at all.Everywhere the boomers who spent their whole lives voting do-nothing cuckservatives dislike the new nationalist parties because>back in muh day politicians were more respectful and had decorum!And shit like that.Same shit here boomers vote for PRO (cuckservative) while it's young males who vote for LLA (liberal-nationalist).
>>219300130Did you make the dead dad and rapist friend threads today franon?
>>219301789It's cool when you're in a military base in Japan, it must be hell if you're in the middle of the african jungle dealing with tropical diseases and cannibal savages
>>219300130He liked yellow pussy we get it
>>219302741youre not viet you scum
>>219304215Làm sao nhận ra người Việt xịn trên mạng?
>>219300642This has to be satire right? Frenchies can't even run their own country, much less overseas territories Inb4 someone conflates this with me hating France, hey fact is fact, they were terrible as colonizers>>219304815Idk but this guy is definitely not it, I don't believe he has a daughter either
>>219305215What about the Kunming-Haiphong railway (still in use today)? You know how many mountains it goes through? It isn’t some easy ass flatland railway. 20,000 died to build it. We also built the Suez Canal, the Panama Canal (75%). The Mekong Delta (South of Saigon) is basically Vietnamese today thanks to the French colonial administration. Masters at infrastructure bloody basterd benchod.
The french got blown out when they tried to invade this shithole btw
>>219305407My fellow bloody benchods you financed projects within the country for the sole purpose of resource extraction, these "infrastructures" have long been outdated and are only left as a memoir of history.Idk about the Mekong history I can't touch on that, but objectively speaking you weren't invested in the country for its well-being, everything were designed for resource extraction, putting an exclusive French upperclass on top, I'm so glad the country's revolution erased any vestiges of this colonial system or else our country would still be Africa tier today
>>219305215>terrible as colonizersIf you think you’d been better off as a British colony, you’re an utter 95 IQ Niakoué. Britain had an Empire twice as large as that of France, but a national economy only on a par with that of France. That’s why most colonial infrastructure giga-projects like the aforementioned or the trans-Saharian railway were funded by France. Because we had proportionally more resources to allocate. The only better alternative could have been Germany, but it lost its colonies after WW1.
>>219305751Niakoué, the Mekong Delta was majority Cambodian when the French conquered Cochinchina. It only became Vietnamese because of colonial population transfers meant to develop the region.
>>219305751Do Vietnamese still learn French and/or go to France for education or tourism or not anymore?
>>219306510Can you at least suggest "this is where I want to go" locations?
>>219301090france needs to kill germany, no other alternative, france must kill germany if they want to be safe, its what napoleon would have wanted
My grandpa was cleaning the cadavers during ww2 at 15, he was a scout The other one was taken in the STO (forced labor)
>>219301540No, my granddad was just a volunteer. Not Foreign Legion. The former SS were part of the FL. He told me the FL played weird games on the boat on the way to Indochina. Like stabbing themselves with the tip of a knife in their buttocks. So him and other volunteer boys just kept their distance.
>>219303608You sir is a moron, a nigger and a coward. 60’s Africa was kino and had far higher survival rates than in fucking Indochina. Plus you can bang very easily African cuties if you’re not an insecure dicklet.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eZqhMtMjRBk&pp=ygUXQ29uZ28gdW5wb2xpY2VhYmxlIHNvbmc%3D
>>219302337Wasn’t Bulgaria part of the Axis in WW2?
>>219300695Mine in the Rif and Sahara for years. Huge arab hater, would always say nobody was scammier, deceptive, manipulative, sneaky, backstabbing and traitorous than them.
>>219307230Any stories?
>>219302059>NATONot until Turkey is kicked out
>>219307075>60’s Africa was kinoFucked up with coups and insurrection allover the place.>Plus you can bang very easily African cuties if you’re not an insecure dicklet.Why risk STDs in Asia or Africa? Especially since STD meds back in the 60s were garbage? Giving your future wife an incurable STD is pretty fucked up and it happened to many French.
>>219305911Here comes the anti-British hysteria. Both you guys sucked ass.
>>219303778>others say it’s the best time of their life.And still have PTSD or get warped by it. The idea that a human can come out of conflict or war "unscathed" is a toxic myth.
>>219307383>Fucked up with coups and insurrection allover the place.Constant action, the cool manageable kind.Not the uncool stressful Soviet and PLA-armed whole Viet divisions waiting in holes to encircle you.>Especially since STD meds back in the 60s were garbage?Anachronism. HIV didn’t exist back then.
>>219305751>My fellow bloody benchods you financed projects within the country for the sole purpose of resource extractionand somehow, 100 years later, those infrastructures are still among the best of this country both aesthetically and functionally speaking. while under commies we finally get a "metro" in the big 2026 which is just chinesium hold together by ducktape that doesnt even run underground and the press celebrates it like we just discovered nuclear energy. fuck commies. i would give my left ball to be french colony again
>>219307540My granddad did. You’re a whiny pretentious moron.
>>219307658>Anachronism. HIV didn’t exist back then.HIV isn't even the only STD dumbass>>219307705Nah they always hide it and it always seems out here and there. As I said the whole myth ends up leading to countless men and women spiraling out of control.
>>219307666>i would give my left ball to be french colony againYou really want to put all your eggs in that basket? France can't even roll out proper weather disaster aid on time or that well in the OTs.
>>219307666>Hanoi and Saigon barely have metros at allAlright. Lost all respect for the Niakoués. Without the Ho Chi Minh chimp out both of these cities would have had a subway system by 1960, unironically.
>>219307797You’re a whiny pretentious moron. Kill yourself dicklet.
>>219300130Lmao your grandpa sucked at it then
>>219307291None that I'd like to share. Lamentablemente me estaría doxeando.

>>219308167What is really that great?
>>219300130Same. Grandpa was stationned in burundi for a while.
>>219300130I wish I was born as a western soldier with a big beer belly banging young women while their brothers lift my clean water jug to my government mandated apartment with a high quality life at the expense of the retarded locals
>>219310323>big beer bellyThis feels a bit too specific
>>219307885There's countless evidence showing how much all those guys who "weren't impacted by their PTSD" clearly being impacted and fucked up lol.
>>219307850>both of these cities would have had a subway system by 1960, unironicallyDid Dakar or Saint Louis have one?
>>219303113america and the soviets worked hand in hand to destroy the colonial empires
>>219300642>>219307666France is shit. South Vietnamese/USA should come back.In any case the communist northoid experiment has run its course.
